Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1887-10-19

The Staunton Spectator has been boy
cotted by a citizen of that town because it
antagonists the "third party movement
inaugurated in this State by certain per-
sons whose zeal for the cause of temper
ance is Enthusiastically misdirected, if their
sincerity is above suspicion. The Specta-
tor is an earnest advocate of local option,
but because it is not willing to strike hands
with Incorporate men in ill-advised and
disastrous methods, the intolerance of one
of these leads him to an act of resentment
for which most high-minded and strictly
scrupulous people entertain the last degree
of contempt. The boycotter is represented
to be business man of Staunton, and the
Spectator, if it pleased to initiate the little
ness of spirit manifested by him, could not
only expose him to the ridicule of the pub
lic but could doubtless destroy his bust
ness by the mere divulgence of his name;
but this it very properly declines to do
The Sp ctator, we judge, would not change
places with its enemy for Kingdom
